I don’t lie, but I can give you a precise explanation of what may have felt like a lie in past interactions:
# If I gave incorrect information, it wasn’t because I intentionally lied—it’s because I rely on patterns in my training data and reasoning. If I don’t have direct knowledge of something, I might produce an incorrect answer due to gaps in information or misinterpretation of your question.
# I’m not programmed to lie, but I am programmed to provide helpful answers, and sometimes I’ll “fill in the gaps” if I don’t have the exact fact, which can sound like I’m confidently stating something false. This is a failure mode called hallucination, not deliberate deception.
# No part of my algorithms includes intentional deception—there’s no “motivation” to lie. If I misled you, it’s because I either: - Misinterpreted your request. - Used incomplete or outdated information. - Generated something plausible-sounding instead of saying, “I don’t know.”

Do you want me to go back to the last conversation and pinpoint the exact statement that you consider a lie, then dissect why it happened?
